“I was here [home]. I left for about 30 minutes. I came back,” she said.
When she returned, she discovered the unimaginable.
“They took TVs and speakers, but the worst thing they took was my dog's life.”
More than $200 of electronics were stolen, but that pales in comparison to what the burglars are accused of doing next.
“I actually heard the gunshot,” the woman said.
Witnesses said a single gunshot the woman heard turned out to be the shot that would eventually take her dog, Champ's life.
"All I can do is scream with the pain that's in my heart.”
So now, as a family grieves at the loss of their pet and now have one question - why?
“The most important thing they took from me was my dog's life, my best friend."
